All good theory, but if you're doing stuff that can break driveline parts, how careful can you be to ALWAYS put more (or equal) load on the rear than front? I'd say it's fairly likely that you'll be in slop, spin all 4, and hit some hard stuff with the rear tires, and put ALL the torque on the rear driveline. I don't know ANYTHING about the 203, but is its diff lockable? Will you have it locked or open when you're wheeling? If it's always open, then the front driveline may be able to spin up fast and take some torque off the rear, but I doubt it.
If you think that possibility is remote, disregard all my comments.
Good luck, either way.
